I am very new to these Ren'Py games-and I started this one without looking at a walkthrough, because it seems pretty accessible and, well, fun! I just kind of let the game lead me for a couple of weeks, and ran into the investigation, and started to realize (as the "Primrose countdown" dwindled) that....I had probably missed a few things, LOL. (In my defense, I did find out everything for Samarra to confirm things looked bad)
So I peeked at the Walkthrough, and wow, I was a total sluggard-no idea I had so many clues already to use my powers, gain more magic, etc etc. Going to restart and be a lot more aggressive in...uh...doing stuff to...people.
Really enjoying the game so far, thank you!
